/*******************************************************************
The classes in this file implement methods to ensure that file change
notifications are fired in a thread other than the worker thread used
by CDirectoryChangeWatcher.
Dispatching the notifications in to a different thread improves the performance
of CDirectoryChangeWatcher so that it can process more notifications faster
and notifications aren't 'lost'.
There are two methods of dispatching functions to another thread.
1) One is to use the message pump associated w/ the main thread by posting notifications
to a hidden window. This is implemented w/ the class CDelayedNotificationWindow.
2) The other is to create a worker thread that implements a message pump. This is
implemented w/ the class CDelayedNotificationThread.
If your app uses a GUI then it has a already has message pump.
You can make sure that CDelayedNotificationWindow is used in this case.
The advantage here being that there is one less worker thread used in your program.
If your app is a command line app or otherwise doesn't have a GUI,
then you will want to make sure that you are using the CDelayedNotificationThread
to dispatch notifications to another thread.
This is determined by a flag passed is passed to the constructor of CDirecotryChangeWatcher
